Essential to the success of EFP’s joint initiatives is the full integration of the culturally rich and unique nature of each of its member’s own cinema heritage. EFP’s reliance on the national expertise and know-how of the 37 member institutes has been at the core of the organisational goals since its inception, and has been key to EFP's ability to bring European cinema to the attention of the international press, industry and public around the world.
